Conservative Gets Lathered Over Dangle

This may only be funny to me, but bear with me. I was doing my hourly vanity search of Google to see if anybody is talking about me when I came across a discussion of the mortgage lending crisis on Free Republic, a conservative rant board. A guy with the handle Hydroshock posted my cartoon on the subject, someone else said they enjoyed it, and they were instantly set upon by a Dangle-hater who challenges their conservative bona fides. One good natured writer tries to mollify his rabid brother only to come in for more abuse.(See below the fold)

Still admiring the work of radical leftist Lloyd Dangle? Still dragging his crap onto a conservative website?

You'll have to forgive me, I don't know who Lloyd Dangle is nor have I studied the history of Marxism (I'm guessing Dangle is dead and buried since I haven't heard of him).

I can tell you that I'm not a fan of people living beyond of their means, nor am I a fan of the government (especially a government that calls itself "Republican") trying to help out (reward) people who live beyond their means. In other words, a Conservative. We are, unfortunately, a rare breed these days, so make sure and tell your grandkids that you've spoken with a few. They may not believe you, but they'll still enjoy the story.posted by af_vet_rr-----------------------

He drew the cartoon you love so much. He hates Bush and capitalism and America, as far as I can tell. you think he's spot on.

I'm a Reagan conservative, I don't know what the hell you are.

If I want to teach my grandkids about you, I'll show them It's a Wonderful Life and point out Mr. Potter.posted by Petronski (Why would Romney lie about Ronald Reagan's record?)-----------------------

LOL, relax, it's friday, and you can't tell squat about me based on a comment about a single cartoon, no more than you can tell if somebody is a Democrat simply because they drove a Ford or a Chevy made with union labor.

I'm a Reagan conservative, I don't know what the hell you are.

Some of us were Conservatives long before Reagan was President (or even Governor), LOL.

You've provided me with a couple of chuckles today, and I do thank you!posted by af_vet_rr-----------------------
